The background section in the American Rescue Plan article is empty. What are some things that would be useful to add in the section? --AmericanRescuePlan2021 (talk) 18:42, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

We could add a summary that there have been multiple laws passed concerning the COVID-19 pandemic ^[1] Also it was reported that Biden had concerns that some of those pieces of legislation, notably the CARES Act and Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, was not targetted enough to the poor and emphasize to big businesses. Obviously we would also need to have a sub-heading on the financial and health effects of the pandemic too. :) Phillip Samuel (talk) 18:47, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Phillip Samuel, I have included information in the background, including the previous bills signed. I also mentioned the $2,000 stimulus, which was supported by Trump, Biden, and Democrats. However, I do notice that the sections "Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic" and "Impact of COVID-19 pandemic legislation" are empty. I think these two sections should be removed now that I inserted information in the background. I do plan in the future to nominate the article to GA-status once Biden signs it into law but for now, I will focus on improving the article and adding information. --AmericanRescuePlan2021 (talk) 21:39, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Regarding the Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic section of the American Rescue Plan article, it has only one sentence. Is there anything else that can be added in the article? --AmericanRescuePlan2021 (talk) 01:28, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

AmericanRescuePlan2021 Talk about the economic and public health impact of the pandemic. Economy-wise, there has been lost jobs, high unemployment, high rates of eviction, increased national hunger, no schools running, billions of federal aid passed went to big corporations and less to the poor, income inequality has increased massively, etc etc. Health-wise, there have been 450,000+ deaths, over 27 million cases, no comprehensive federal strategy, etc. The background is about the problems America faces, and the ARP is the solution. We don't have to be so comprehensive in the page, a relevant blurb works. Up to you. Phillip Samuel (talk) 01:41, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Phillip Samuel, I have expanded the section and added most of the stuff you suggested that I add. Feel free to take a look at what I did in that section and let me know if I should add more stuff to it. --AmericanRescuePlan2021 (talk) 02:26, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

I saw a article saying that New York would receive $50 billion in funding as part of the $1.9 stimulus plan (American Rescue Plan). I added this information in the article. However, is it in the right section? If not, which section should I move it to? AmericanRescuePlan2021 (talk) 23:53, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

AmericanRescuePlan2021 I've reorganized the headings so that the info better fits, but in the meantime, I don't think Wikipedia accepts the New York Post as a reliable perennial source, so the source will have to be replaced with a better one or another editor will remove it under WP:RSP. Phillip Samuel (talk) 00:07, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

@Phillip Samuel: I just removed the source and replaced it. I also added that the stimulus would boost the incomes of poor Americans by $4,000. There is a section called "Provisions". Do you think the stuff should be moved to the "Economic impact" section? If not, what can I add in the "Economic impact" section regarding the bill? --AmericanRescuePlan2021 (talk) 00:42, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that the page Criminal charges brought in the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it was an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consisted only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, or you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:17, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

That could be a valid article, but it was empty. Try draftspace first. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:19, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Muboshgu I was about to split the information from the main article when I found out it was deleted. You could have at least nominated it for deletion pending discussion or move it into an draft instead. Phillip Samuel (talk) 18:23, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited January 6, 2021 Commission, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Big Four. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

An article you recently created, Brnovich v. DNC, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain namespaces ((Article) and Draft) for copyright violations.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Moneytrees🏝️^{Talk/CCI help} 05:40, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

• Sorry, but you've been previously warned about this and do not appear to understand what is allowed in articles. This block resulted from me seeing the copyright issues at 2021 United States cyberattack and then seeing the same text was at 2020 United States federal government data breach; I removed the text from both articles and started to examine your contributions for copyright issues, with the first edit I looked at- this one to American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, contained a lot of text taken from https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/stimulus-update-us-relief-bill-03-05-21/h_0b8e1e5ecb1ef4d815f6f9e02d0e2650.

Request reason:

Moneytrees🏝️ I would like to request that I be allowed to edit the pages for which that I have been currently blocked. I understand that you have concerns about my ability to comply with Wikipedia copyright guidelines, and I want to assure you that I can do so and regain your trust. I will make much more of an effort to check and double-check my edits so as to comply with WP:C, WP:CV, WP:REUSE and deeply familiarize myself with those WP policies. For example, in the 2021 United States cyberattack page you mentioned, when I copied within Wikipedia, I put in the edit summary "Copied content from exact Name of Article; see that article's history for attribution." so as to comply with WP:CWW, WP:PATT. Regardless, I do understand that I will have to be much more careful in adding information and paraphrasing as to not violate Wikipedia copyright guidelines. I have made numerous edits, created pages, and helped with IP vandalism and intend to help contribute to Wikipedia. I appreciate your review and hope you understand my perspective and are assured that I will more aptly follow WP policies.Phillip Samuel (talk) 06:15, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

There were multiple amendments brought onto the Senate floor. Bernie Sanders introduced the first amendment to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour. All Republicans and 8 Democrats voted against the amendment. After the vote, Sanders stated he was not surprised by the outcome and vowed that progressives would keep fighting on other fronts to raise the minimum wage.^[1] Senator Tom Cooper introduced an amendment which would extend the unemployment benefits through the end of September but would cut the benefits from $400 to $300. The amendment also did not tax the first $10,200 of unemployment benefits.^[2] Senator Joe Manchin, a key vote in the Senate, disagreed with Cooper's amendment, stalling the Senate amendment process for hours while his Democratic colleagues and the White House pressured him to support Cooper's amendment. ^[3] Manchin had initially signalled he would support a GOP-backed amendment by Senator Rob Portman to cut off the unemployment benefits at July. After hours of negotiations between top Senate Democrats and the White House, Manchin stated he would back a revised version of Cooper's amendment which would cut off the unemployment benefits at September 6.^[4]

BTW something to watch out for: when you add material to an article, do NOT use wording copied directly from the source - as you did with the first sentence of the “Investigation” section, or the “Reality Winner” material. You need to summarize or reword or rephrase the material, at least partially. Using the source’s exact wording without quotation marks is a violation of our copyright policy. You only need to reword it a little, as I did here and here. Just a reminder. -- MelanieN (talk) 15:59, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder, I will do better. Phillip Samuel (talk) 16:01, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

No problem. BTW I notice that Draft:Trump administration data seizure still exists as a redirect to the article. Do you want that deleted? Most of us like to have our drafts deleted after we move the thing to mainspace. You can request that it be deleted by tagging it with {{Db-author}}, or I can just do it for you. -- MelanieN (talk) 16:14, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Oh yes I forgot to delete the draft. Thanks for the tip; I will tag it for deletion. Phillip Samuel (talk) 17:04, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

The article Criminal charges brought in the 2021 United States Capitol attack has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

We already have the main article 2021 United States Capitol attack (which isn't even linked in the lede), having this article as well, gives WP:UNDUE coverage to specific arrests.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Sorry again, but I removed content you recently added to that article as it was too closely phrased to https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/20/politics/justice-department-subpoenas-congressional-democrats-trump/index.html. Here are some examples of what I removed, with overlap bolded:

"The DOJ data seizures came amid a broad leak investigation focusing on numerous stories related to the Muller investigation, including the disclosure that Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser, had been subjected to a secret FISA warrant. The probes investiated many in the government who may have had knowledge of leaked classified information, including congressional staffers."

"The DOJ's original subpoena was meant to identify people connected with the staffer. Apple provided names connected to the accounts the company had records for, which included Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell. This was potentially the first time the DOJ knew they had records of the two Democrats, according to CNN's sources. It's unclear what the investigators did to alert supervisors after the lawmakers' names were turned over in the records subpoenaed."

I am willing to give you a chance here, but next time I see copyright violations I will reinstate my previous indefinite block. I advise you read Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing#How to write acceptable content, which gives advice on avoiding close paraphrasing. My advice in this instance is to avoid unnecessary verbiage and details, and try to be concise as possible. Moneytrees🏝️^{Talk/CCI guide} 04:00, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
